Percent by mass of a particular element in a compound % Element = Mass of Element x 100 Mass of Compound
Example Find the percentage composition of copper (I) sulfide.
Practice • Find the percent of nitrogen in (NH4)2CO3 • Find the percent composition of Ba(NO3)2
Hydrates • Some salt crystals bind water molecules in their crystal structure – called hydrates • The formula below shows a hydrate with a ratio of 10 water molecules per one salt molecule Na2CO3 • 10 H2O
Example • Find the percent of water in Na2CO3 • 10 H2O
Practice • Find the percent of water in ZnSO4• 7H2O
